Max Pickering stands next to what's left of his property next to the Hume Highway at Wandong, north of Melbourne, on February 12, 2009. Pickering's property was destroyed by the bushfires that swept through the area and he was forced to shelter in his car for several hours under an overpass on the Hume.
